Let me clarify the change is from the other bb in house 41 mm cases to the GMT case which differs. The mid case sides are now chamfered on the underside if that is even the right word. Perhaps some gmt owners can confirm but I believe all gmt are the same as to this change.

I have seen this since day 1 on the GMT, it is a GMT design to make it wear easier.

They should change all the 41s to this design.

It's one of things that do make it wear a little nicer, IMO. It doesn't exactly take away the thickness, but does make it appear a little slimmer and wear very comfortable.
